Confusion point: IIRC the MS Windows defrag does 2 jobs: 1 - it ensures that all parts of a file are stored contiguously 2 - it packs the files together, leaving no (or little) space between them. I think some people on this thread are talking about 1, others about 2. (Personnal I would say "Defragmenting" means only 1.)
